Chapter 1399 - 1401: Is It You?
"How about this, then? All the corn in the middle can belong to your family. Does that work for you, auntie?"
The young lady from the wealthy family has always had a good attitude which has given Xiaoxiao a very positive impression of her. First, she stated the facts, and finally she made a concession, preventing the situation from escalating.
But why does this voice sound increasingly familiar, like she’s heard it somewhere before? No matter how hard she tries, Xiaoxiao just can’t recall.
Even with this concession, Auntie Lan Hua is still not satisfied and insists on getting the pile of corn from the other party, "That won’t do, our family will suffer a big loss. Those are clearly our corn cobs."
Just at this point, Yang Dong drove a cattle cart over. With sharp eyes, Auntie Lan Hua immediately saw Yang Dong and pulled him over, shouting, "Yang Dong, come and have a look. They crashed our cart and now want to secretly take our corn."
Yang Dong was pulled right in front of the young lady from the wealthy family.
After taking a look at the situation, Yang Dong quickly understood. He had been helping Auntie Lan Hua’s family with chores for several days. Originally, he should have been the one to drive the cart because the horse is fiercer than the cattle; it’s safer for him to drive.
But Xiaocui’s second brother insisted on driving the horse cart. Yang Dong had no choice but to agree. He didn’t expect an accident would happen, but upon review, it was clear it was their horse cart that caused the issue.
Looking at the two piles of corn, it was obvious Auntie Lan Hua was trying to secretly take the other party’s corn, wasn’t she?
About to speak, Yang Dong noticed the young lady across from him, her face slightly red, spoke first, "Auntie, I’m really sorry. You can have all the corn."
Upon hearing this, Auntie Lan Hua was overjoyed and immediately instructed her son to load the corn: "Second son, hurry up and load the corn onto the cart."
This scenario surprised Yang Dong. He didn’t expect the other party to knowingly suffer a loss and still make concessions, to the point of giving all the corn to Auntie Lan Hua’s family. He felt this was wrong and was clearly taking advantage of her, so he stopped Auntie Lan Hua, "Hold on a minute."
Yang Dong walked to the center of the two piles of corn, and with just a few moves, he separated them. Standing straight, he spoke, "Young lady, this is the fairest way. That side is yours, and this side is ours."
Faced with this arrangement, Auntie Lan Hua was not willing to budge, quickly shouting, "Yang Dong, that’s our corn too, we can’t give it to her."
Yang Dong was utterly helpless, feeling embarrassed, and was unwilling to address them as friends anymore. He said with a sullen face, "If that’s the case, I’ll take the cart and leave."
Upon hearing that Yang Dong would drive the cart away and not help her family with the corn, that wouldn’t do. If they had to carry everything themselves, it would take a lot of effort. They couldn’t be delayed by that bit of corn. So Auntie Lan Hua immediately agreed, "Fine, second son, quickly load the corn onto the cart."
And so, each family loaded their respective piles of corn.
Watching from the side, Xiaoxiao noticed that the young lady from the wealthy family was standing there, her eyes continuously watching the direction where the fourth brother was working. Instantly, Xiaoxiao’s mind clicked: is this young lady Li Chuntao?
Thinking this, Xiaoxiao called out, "Li Chuntao, is it you?"
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s voice, the young lady from the wealthy family abruptly turned around, seeing Xiaoxiao standing nearby holding a child and watching the scene unfold. Although Xiaoxiao was wearing makeup, for Li Chuntao, who had spent years living alongside her, she recognized Xiaoxiao in an instant. She exclaimed in delight, "Xiaoxiao."
